Raising Christian Scholars

During the challenging pre-teen and early teen years, FRCS junior high students are provided an environment in which they can begin to explore who God has uniquely created them to be while learning to claim their faith as their own.

Academic Foundations

Our academic foundations begin with fostering a culture of curiosity and love of exploration. These things, combined with a culture of providing careful feedback to students, provide the foundations for learning.

Electives

We believe that education is not only about equipping students for college, preparing students for a trade, or training students to collaborate well with others.

Community and Discipleship

Junior High is an incredibly formative time for students and their sense of identity. Our approach is that through discipleship, experiential learning, and time spent in community, students will learn to know themselves in light of God's truth, become more like Christ, and experience a true sense of belonging.

Academic Foundations

FRCS takes a “less is more” approach. By assigning less work, we are able to focus on providing careful feedback to students — and nothing kills a love of curiosity as quickly as busy work does. Students will still have regular homework, particularly in subject areas where repeated practice is necessary, such as reading and math. But we would rather err on the side of using these formative years in Junior High to foster excitement and exploration in our students. What we have seen is that students who fall in love with learning will carry that love with them into their high school years. We also believe that Junior High is the critical moment to teach students executive functioning skills (staying organized, planning their time, communicating with teachers proactively, etc.). We prioritize developing these skills during the Junior High years because they pay enormous dividends.

Unique Electives

In Junior High, students are required to rotate between electives in the Fine & Performing Arts and between electives in the Practical Arts. In the past, we have offered courses such as Culinary Arts, Woodworking, Contemporary Band, Jazz Band, Studio Drawing, and much more. These electives are designed to run for only one semester, and then students must rotate into a different elective and try something new. This forced rotation requires students to try a variety of different types of courses. This elective rotation is intentionally offset by consistent courses in PE and Music which run for the duration of the full year for all of 7th and 8th grade. This allows us to create opportunities for students to explore unique opportunities without sacrificing growth and development during these important years

Community and Discipleship

Just as much as students are formed in a classroom context during these formative Junior High years, they are also formed through meaningful relationships and intentional experiences. Our hope is that through strategic programming and intentional relationships, students will find their true, God-given identity within the context of community. One way that students engage in community is through Junior High dGroups (discipleship groups). Junior High dGroups are small groups of 7th and 8th grade students that meet once a week and are led by 11th and 12th graders. These upperclassmen apply to be in a class that focuses on leadership development, spiritual formation, and discipleship, so that they are equipped to effectively lead and disciple Junior High students. dGroups are based on the four Pillars of Play, Story, Prayer, and Scripture and provide an opportunity for students to become more like Christ within the context of community. Another way that students grow and are formed in community is through Retreats, Community days, and the AWE Program. Each of these are an experience-based program that exists to use on and off campus experiences to develop both a student’s character and the FRCS community. They focus on intentional conversations, challenges and commitments for student flourishment and community building.
